The SanDisk electronics company produces products such as camera memory cards, computer hard-drives, USB flash drives and MP3 players. The manufacturer exceeds in providing technical support and extended product warranties at no cost. But SanDisk falls short when it comes to in-store repair capabilities and access to large-memory storage devices.

Extended Warranties

Most electronics companies provide a limited one-year warranty on all of their products. SanDisk provides at least two years for each of its products and some, like their Cruzer Contour flash drives, have a lifetime warranty.

Support

SanDisk provides a number support channels for it users. Its website contains a large search database where users can type in a question or issue they are having. The company offers live instant messaging support from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. PDT. Users can also call the technical support number during these hours.

Lack of In-Store Repairs

If your SanDisk product has a serious issue that needs repair, you will have to send the product to the manufacturer in California. The company does not own any physical stores nor does it have authorized repair specialists. It may take several weeks to send the product to the company, repair it and get it back.

Few Large Capacity Memory Devices

Though SanDisk specializes in making flash drives, camera memory cards and hard drives, it does not offer many high-storage devices. Its largest camera memory card holds 64 gigabytes of data, as does its flash drive. While this is a substantial amount, users looking to transfer huge video or audio files may not be able to use a SanDisk storage device.
